Omnipresent

Sadly, I did not enjoy my time with this game. I got bored around ten minutes in, lost further interest by sixty minutes, and had mostly decided to refund before I reached ninety minutes, but I played out until just shy of two hours because I wanted the game to become fun. It never did. I believe that the core problem with Omnipresent is the fact that the developer had much bigger dreams than his (it seems to be a one-man game) skills could complete. There are a lot of mechanics and interactions that COULD be really fun, but end up being really boring. The stock market: It fluctuates WILDLY from second to second. Stocks can change by hundreds of dollars in the blink of an eye. Of course, you can drop any stock to near-zero just by hacking the relevant site, buy at almost nothing, and sell for everything. The only problem is that you keep getting blocked and having to pay money to unlock your trading account -- which isn't fun or challenging (when you make 3 million per sale of stock,...

For a one man job, this game is rather impressive, however, it's incredibly buggy and feels very unfinished. Progress is constantly mired down by vague objectives, or the game simply not registering that you've completed an objective. It is a perpetual uphill battle just to get it to work. I often found myself wondering if the reason I couldn't complete an objective was because I was doing something wrong, or if I'd simply hit yet another bug. Not all of the game's problems are the result of bugs, however, as many of the mechanics for the game are lackluster, make little sense, or unblanced. Others here have gone into far better about where the game is lacking, so I won't bother repeating things. Overall this feels more like an early access title than it does a finished product, and I can't help being a little upset at that. While I have to commend this first time dev for providing support to players, and working tirelessly to fix the bugs that are present, I simply can't recommend ...

On top of all the previous complaints, the game's optimization is abyssmal. I'm running a very high end PC, and at I have to wait a good 10 minutes on a white screen on startup. Secondly, the game lags a LOT. Map scrolling is terrible, the UI is awful. This game is undoubtedly not worth the pricetag. The other users could not have stated it better. The mini-games are just bad. I mean one of them is literally just "Smash every key til you get it right", but unfortunately, the game has a major chance to crash. The other is some scrolling key press, which seems timed, but sometimes is just random as hell. I thoroughly regret this purchase.

I recommend this game, even though it is quite difficult to take the grasp of. I think it should have a more informative beginning, since I have been playing for some time, and still don't know how most of it works. I will proceed to continue playing, but more info on the game would be awesome.

So, i played the game about 40 Minutes. I like the way how you play as an AI. The game in a way like "Hacknet" but much easier. I like the game really much. It hits my taste... just perfect. What i don't like: Bugs which prevent me from playing further. Im in chapter 2 and i cant go further. There is a problem with the save-system. I cant choose new "Jobs" because they are empty (i took them in an savegame erlier and now in this round they are empty). I think, this game needs a little bit more bugfixing... then it will be great. So, yes, spend some money and support this fresh idea of concer the world as AI... even if the bugs really suck hard right now.

*Based off of the initial release after completing the game* Play time- 6 hours This game left me with a hard choice on if I liked it or not. Its has a lot of aspects that I really enjoy in a game and I really did try to like it. It also has some very big negatives that took away from that desire. Pros: -You get to be a super computer AI -You have the choice to play sandbox at just about anytime -Some clever 'no hand holding' problems Cons: -You never really 'feel' like a super computer AI -The mini games are repetitive and boring -All you can really do in sandbox is earn more money, which is easy to get and doesn't really matter much after you finish your base building. -Very scripted linear story that feels... clunky? What I wanted in this game was a skynet simulator. That isn't what you get. The unscripted elements of the game are minimal and trivial. The obstacles to your taking over the world are also very easy to get around and at most just annoying. All advancements i...

I quite enjoyed playing Omnipresent, I had the chance to play it for two hours and definitely planning to play more now that I got used to its mechanics. What I really liked about the game was that although it was representing the world from an AI's perspective it has the user interface that one can easily adjust to so one does not get lost in all the code you would assume to be in an AI mechanics. The browser, search engine, and all the web sites including stock exchange are very well executed and function like the ones on the web so it is quite fun to use them. I liked the range of activities you can do as an AI, from stealing research papers to reaching bank accounts etc. And when you connect them all, there really is nothing you can not do as an AI. The really well thought touch for me was the Detection Percentage - the AI is not a program detached from the world. There are both other softwares and people that are in interaction with it. I definitely recommend Omnipresent and am...

Well, i was enjoying it.. Until it crashed with a black screen for no reason and i had to quit it, having not saved soon enough lost half an hours progress.. So not very impressed. Hard to recommend a game that crashes suddenly for no reason nor explanation!

I like this game only one thing if you have a lower end pc its not going too work I tested it on a older gen 2 only had 2 processers. im not complaining I feel there are a lot of people complaining about game play. yes the gamplay is different and yes there is a white screen.bug but it does not seem to affect my pc. it last roughy for 30 secnds too a 1 min. overall I feel there could be more tutorials on stuff in game.and this game does have interesting points its more like a learning curve for the basic. and the stock market is not hard to manipulate just hack it dont sell right away. as for the music ya I kinda wish there was some up beat but thats ok.ps I have 4 cores.

Loved it, for like 5 hours. Its a good hacking gae in the void of a better "uplink" game.. The problem with it that it is possible to "get lost" in the quest line if you delete the wrong email or destroy the wrong goverment, or crime syndicate. The hacking is primitive, and gets old after the 50th time. It gets a bit "harder", but its the same patterns. 7/10 overall.
